Scale hopping is the work of the devil, never a good idea and you never like what you see. Make sure you weigh at the same time of day, wearing the same clothes etc. Only once a week if you can manage it, if not, set an official day and only go by that weight no matter what else you see during the week.

thanks guys, i do feel a bit better now. ive mowed the back lawn and cleaned up a bit out there and weeded the front garden.

will go and do the shopping in the morning then going to my new just dance wii game after,looking forward to doing that...obviously the curtains will be shut!

Kitty,you are right,scales hopping isnt for the faint hearted i dont know why i did,i resisted all last week too,im not weighing again until monday morning, i do in the kitchen as the floor is completely level and i always weigh naked

Aww hunnie trust me i know how you feel...and thats exactly why i threw my scales in the bin! I weigh myself every thursday morning in Boots. If i had scales at home, i would be on the every minute...Not worth it.

Chin up hun, im sure you will still have lost at the end of your week!! *hugs*

Ps....when you weighed yourself, had u drunk lots of water or just ate? I did find (when I was serial scale hopper) that unless I weighed myself in the morning before I ate or drank, my weight would fluctuate.
I'm actually doubting very much that you have really gained if that makes sense? Lol
Bet you will be pleasantly surprised at weigh in xxx

It's not a blip though, if you were to weigh yourself everyday you would see that your weight goes up and down all the time, its down to things like fluid and hormones. Like the others have said, weigh yourself once a week, same time, same clothes and you will get a true guide to how you're doing. I weigh myself first thing on a Monday morning, just after I've been to the loo and nekkid
While scale hoping is tempting, its not worth it, its really not.
